Yesterday we hosted Easter dinner for our group of friends. There were 10 adults and 3 ankle biters…although two of the babies slept most of the time. With the scrumptious food coming in a close second, I think the egg hunt took the (bunny topped cup)cake. Shortly after we finished eating, one of our friends noticed our next door neighbor “hiding” eggs in his yard for his three boys. Noah and I then announced that we too had planned an egg hunt in our backyard.  Thankfully the snow (we received about 1″ the night before) melted before I hid the eggs.  An egg hunt would not be as much fun if all one had to do was follow footprints to the hiding spots.  Worst case I would have had to run around the yard in circles to cover my tracks…but then again, Lava would sniff each egg after I hid it, so then I would have had to come up with a way to cover her tracks as well.  Regardless, the snow melted – back to the story.

I think it was Melina that responded with an enthusiastic, “Are you serious?!?!”. I believe I also overheard someone saying they have never participated in an egg hunt…but it might have been in reference to one of the babies. I don’t know. Stanley noticed an egg on part of the fence and yelled, “I see one! It’s mine, no one else can claim it!”  I think my neighbor got a kick out of watching a bunch of 20 and 30 year olds run around trying to collect the most eggs. His eldest son, Luke, was also trying to be helpful by pointing out a couple eggs that we hid by the fence that divided our two yards. Clifton came out victorious with nine eggs, including the last illusive one that sent everyone scrambling (ha!) again. It was determined that whoever hosts next year must also have an egg hunt. The eggs from this year were to be passed down the line, but Lava decided she needed an egg hunt while we were at work today and decimated most of them. Oh well, I’m sure Wal-Mart will carry ample supply next year.

We did take pictures and I will get them posted whenever I download them off the camera…probably this weekend.
